>>543505384You know what's a pretty good clock? The fucking sky.
British astronomer Norman Lockyer and later astronomer Gerald Hawkins first popularized the theory that Stonehenge functioned as an astronomical calendar or "computer".Key Figures and Theories• Norman Lockyer (1906): The British astronomer proposed in his book Stonehenge and Other British Stone Monuments Astronomically Considered that the site was designed as a calendar to track the sun and stars.• Gerald Hawkins (1960s): The astronomer famously advanced the idea that Stonehenge was a "Neolithic computer" capable of tracking solar and lunar movements and predicting eclipses using its stone alignments and hole patterns.• Timothy Darvill (2022): A Bournemouth University professor proposed a modern update to the theory, arguing it served as a perpetual 365-day solar calendar.Current Scientific ViewModern archaeologists (such as Prof. Mike Parker Pearson) largely debate or discount the strict "clock or computer" theories. They suggest that while the monument clearly aligns with the solstices, it was built over centuries as a sacred gathering and ritual site rather than a precision astronomical instrument.
I think was A guyc alled George Mc ClockHenge
>>543505702You know OP coulda just looked that up himsef, so why you doing it for him, why waste time spoonfeeding retards
>>543505702>muh rituals>muh religion>muh rituals and religion(((Modern archaeologists))) are glass chewing imbeciles. Of course a faithless retard would insist that everything they refuse to understand must be religious.Someone introduce those faggots to shorthand.

>>543505384Carl Munck talks about it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nUmEbjSoHs>>543505702I posted a book by Norman Lockyer literally today. Don't know if coincidence or not. Here it is:https://archive.org/details/astronomylockyea00lockrich
>>543505384I know how it could be built with VERY primitive tools.The hardest part is standing up the pillar stones. Simple pulleys can do that, or even more primitive tools like levers. Get the standing stones in place, then fill the entire area with dirt, leaving only the tops of the standing stones exposed. With the tops exposed, simply drag the top stones in place. Excavate the entire site from the dirt you put in it. Voila
>>543506193Or I guess he didn't. His theory was something about coordinates, not a clock.
Actually the answer is Sir Godfrey Higgins in his Anacalypsis, 90 years before Lockyear.
>>543505384If that’s what it is, the people who built it were the first
>>543507114>ifWhat do you mean if, and what do you mean first? There are wood-henges older than Stonehenge with astronomical alignments. IIRC Stonehenge was originally wooden too.
Newgrange uses the solstice so it'd make sense if Stonehenge did too
